Forum loading issues

[Joao]

The "New Posts" link from the nav bar is not working properly.
It shows an error.

Also, sometimes, and on any page on the forum, the server replies back with an error saying that it doesn't find the forum and showing a default Parallels landing page.

Next time please upload a screenshot, or tell me which exact error?

Re the server replying back, might have to do with cache bits on our recent HTTP->HTTPS->HTTP thing...

It seems to be related to the HTTPS, but when landing on HTTP only it redirects to HTTPS automatically. So something is still not completely right.

The last 2 days I've been getting this most of the time. frustrating.

I think someone here reported the issue which solved "alone", not sure if it has to do with proxy caches in between you and our server perhaps....

I keep getting the same thing is some of my browsers. Very annoying.

Also don't like how the forum doesn't work with tapatalk anymore. It tries to load the site but never does, just keeps showing the loading animation forever.

I'll see on monday if Tapatalk plugin requires an update, thanks for pointing out.

Anyone else with the same issue? Might be a DNS issue....Tried Google DNSs?

[Mythandar]

I found out that it is a DNS issue. When my phone is connected to the cell tower near work then it doesn't work using mobile data. At home on mobile data it works fine tho. I got a phone app that proxies to google DNS servers. Although, it seems to be working fine the last few days without the proxy.

I'm sorry to say but it has nothing to do with DNS servers!

It is the HTTPS not well configured and right now, at least that I've found, only the New Posts link is redirecting automatically to HTTPS!
Just try to click on the New Posts on the menu of the forum and the target link (at least for me) http://www.print3dforum.com/search.p...e=vBForum_Post redirects to HTTPS.
The HTTPS is still the problem.


Please stop saying that it is DNS because it has nothing to do with it.
A DNS server is a pretty simple server that the ONLY thing that it does is translating NAMES into IP ADDRESSES.
It does nothing to the www.print3dforum.com website and with HTTPS !!
The HTTP or HTTPS on www.print3dforum.com will target the SAME host, only using a different port, 80 vs 443 respectively.
Every single DNS server in the world will use the default DNS SERVERS of the domain print3dforum.com, and you can find out which just using the WHOIS command.
I tested a few DNS servers and all of them reply exactly the same IP address: 217.182.147.38

If the images above showing the error of HTTPS are not self-explanatory, I really don't know what is...
